Les Vagues

Superbly designed and constructed to take advantage of its unique location with breathtaking views of the Jersey coastline and Gorey Castle, Les Vagues is a stunning new four storey four bedroom residence just completed by GMK Construction in Gorey.

TSA’s Steph Scudder assisted in the interior design of the property.

With its sleek linear modern design featuring elegant, minimal strong lines, the building is structured around  a ring beam timber frame with a blockwork first floor and insulated render and cladding externally. Large areas of glazing maximise natural light internally, as well making the most of the stunning views.

Initial site works included the demolition of a building to make way for the new residence, with the construction team rising to the challenge of working on a sloping site with limited access.

Externally, decking has been installed to provide an exceptional outdoor area, and to maximise living space on the sloping site.

Greg Kelly said: “Due to the location of the site, this project was a great opportunity to create a unique living space maximising some of the finest views of the Jersey coastline.”

New build properties offer the opportunity for locations to be utilised to their full potential and GMK Construction understand the importance of bringing the vision of architects and clients into reality.

GMK Construction can convert site plans into a finished home on time and on budget, with a complete turnkey package.

Their construction work in this field includes timbre frame kits which allow homes to be erected faster than traditional structures.
